Publisher's Synopsis
Obadiah and Jonah is a book written by Thomas Thomason Perowne and published in 1889. The book is a commentary on the biblical books of Obadiah and Jonah, which are two of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. Perowne provides a detailed analysis of the historical context, literary style, and theological themes of these two books. He explores the messages that the prophets were conveying to their audiences and how these messages are still relevant today. In the book of Obadiah, Perowne discusses the prophetic vision of the downfall of Edom, a neighboring nation to Judah, and how it relates to God's justice and mercy. In the book of Jonah, he examines the story of the reluctant prophet who was sent to preach to the people of Nineveh and how it demonstrates God's compassion and forgiveness. Perowne's commentary is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for scholars, pastors, and laypeople alike who are interested in studying the books of Obadiah and Jonah.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
